Vestavia Day School

Incredible school. Every teacher and faculty member has been incredible. Teachers really care about the kids and everyone makes it a positive environment.

Hall Kent has recently forced teachers out of their jobs/forced teachers to resign without any explanation for the administration’s actions and without complaints from fellow teachers. I would not support a school that won’t support teachers.

SDS is a great school full of great teachers and a wonderful director who cares about every student in the school. SDS gives opportunities to kids practicing public speaking, leadership, reading and summarizing / writing reports, geography, Saxon math (great choice). Weekly they have small projects to return. And the best part that kids are writing cursive every project they return, so they know how to use / hold pencil in their hands (and you hear from parent who has a corporate job and using laptop all day long).SDS is a big family! Great school!

Our child just graduated from Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School (OLS) and I feel obligated to leave a review for other parents about our experience with this amazing school. It's hard to describe but there's a feeling at OLS that isn't like other schools. It's a sense of love and concern for your child that you don't find very often. The principal, Mrs. Dorn, is such a wonderful person who truly cares about the students and the school. She is so sweet and you can tell she just wants the very best for every student. She works tirelessly to make sure the school runs smoothly and I always felt like everything was so well organized down to the very last detail. The communication was always really good too, which is so important. Mrs. Dorn worked late every Friday to send out a weekly email providing feedback and pictures from the week, along with updates about the upcoming week. I always felt like I was in the loop on everything. The office staff members were also amazing. They always greeted us with smiles and a cheerfulness, caring attitude, while willing to help us with whatever we needed. Then there were all the amazing teacher, who showed care and concern for our child. Father Muller and Mrs. Dorn work hard to keep the tuition down so parents can afford it and compared to other schools, it is very affordable. We are so grateful for this school and all the wonderful people that helped make our time there so great! Having out child attend this school was truly a blessing!! If you're looking for a school for you child, I highly recommend checking out OLS Catholic School.

We have loved CMS! Both of our children have attended to date, from toddler to lower elementary. We were at a former montessori school before CMS and they were loving and kind, but didn't have the experience and gentle boundary setting and ability to give mental/emotional safety in the way the CMS teachers have really intuitively been able to do, which has been consistent across teachers. We are so thankful for this school, and their intentionality with making it a kind, caring, loving place that stimluates learning at the child's pace!
